Bitcoin is Banned in some countries or there are restriction on trading, mining and converting bitcoin into local currency! Will this hamper bitcoin's growth? Also there is an erratic increase and decrease in Bitcoin price! I know its not regulated but why is it that the increase and decrease in prices is too high or too low? Are Altcoins better than Bitcoins or Bitcoin will still be number one since its the pioneer in cryptocurrencies that uses blockchain technology?

I'm a bit concern with this because our local government seems to be looking into bitcoin as well and might try to regulate it in our country!

 I know that we have different opinions and viewpoints in life. However hurting someone because they are from a different culture, race, or religion is unjustifiable by all means. Peace to everyone.   

Any tips for Newbies on what skills should be learned to be more productive?
Do I need to learn computer programming?
I can invest in crash courses or just watch youtube tutorial if needed.
Thanks for your inputs.
